State approves ninth month budget with war measures
The measure empowers the governor to enact emergency rationing and other wartime actions on his initiative or at federal request, avoiding special legislature sessions. It includes an $87 million appropriation within a larger $122 million general fund package, raises state employee and teacher pay, boosts mental health and education funding, trims road spending, and projects a $3 million end biennium deficit. The package also sets optional ninth month funding for counties and earmarks $20 million of a surplus for future use. The broader agenda covers a delinquent girls home, timber protection, a western mines bureau, and relief for mental health boards.
